Weekly competitor report
1 · Task scope
- Takes over: competitor and market monitoring along a defined source list (websites, trade media, funding news, tenders)
- Takes over: the weekly cadence. Every Monday a finished report, delivered to the team Slack
- Stays with the team: judging relevance and every decision that follows from the report
- Off limits: no external actions. The employee reports, the team decides
2 · Sample result (excerpt)
“Competitor A announces a new module for store analytics [source 3], relevant to the ongoing tender in the northern region. Competitor B has closed a Series B round [source 7]; the press release points to expansion into the DACH region. A public tender from a major retail chain asks for real-time analytics for the first time [source 12]; a check against your own roadmap is recommended.”
3 · Approval points
- Reporting only: the employee takes no external actions. No sending, no outreach, no changes to systems
- Every claim links to its source. Unverified points are flagged as open questions, not stated as facts
- The scope only grows after explicit approval from the team
